Aloysia gratissima
Also called Common Bee Brush, White Beebrush
Aloysia gratissima, commonly called whitebrush or beebrush, is a species of flowering plant in the verbena family Verbenaceae. It is native to Texas through Arizona in the United States, northern Mexico through Veracruz and Oaxaca in North America and southern Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, northern Argentina, and central Chile in South America.
Aloysia gratissima is a common plant to include in cultivation due to its heat and drought tolerance and fragrant blooms which attract pollinating insects and fruit-birds.
